Two circles (Posted on 2004-10-21) Difficulty: 3 of 5
In a 8½x11 sheet of paper I drew two equal non-overlapping circles -- both completely inside the paper, of course.

What's the largest portion of the paper I could cover with the circles?

What would be the answer if I drew THREE equal circles?

Oh Geeze. Thanks Nikki.  It was far too late when I was looking at this.
